    1.Romeo notices that Juliet's “lips”(5.2 Line 95) and her “cheeks”(5.2 Line 95) don't look “pale”(5.2 Line 96) and she still looks beautiful as she was. This scene is ironic because in reality, Juliet is not dead, but Romeo doesn't know that. 2. After Juliet gets up, she realizes that Romeo was holding a cup in his hand and he has poisoned himself. She knows that Romeo is dead, and now she will kill herself.…

    Incomplete: So far I have read that Romeo loved Rosaline, he kissed Juliet and they fell in love, they got married secretly, Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo killed Tybalt, Romeo was banished, and Juliet took a potion so she would appear dead and not have to marry Paris. I think a lot of people of many ages would enjoy Romeo and Juliet because it involves drama and romance. It is really interesting to already know what happens in the end but not know exactly how it happens. I would say this book is very hard because the old language they use is hard to understand, but we get a translation which makes it much easier.…
